Top Dallas bartender Fernanda Rossano isn't afraid to get spicy when mixing drinks, as she demonstrates in this episode of Old Forester's Cocktail Chronicles. Rossano adds a kick to the classic old fashioned with citrus and not one but two chile-based ingredients.
Watch how she does it before tackling the recipe below, and be sure to keep plenty of ice on hand.
Some Like It Hot Old Fashioned
Yields 1 drink
2 ounces Old Forester Bourbon Whisky
1 teaspoon chile-infused simple syrup
3 dashes aromatic bitters
2 dashes citrus bitters
Lime and lemon peel
Red pepper flakes
Combine bourbon, chile syrup, bitters, and lime and lemon peels in a mixing glass and muddle. Add ice and stir until the cocktail is properly diluted.
Pour over a large-format ice cube. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top of ice cube, and garnish the drink with lemon and lime peels.
